this may just be because you're installing your new kernel on top of
your old kernel/modules (i'd recommend supplying your own customized
value for append-to-version), and depmod is checking the new modules against
symbols that are different/don't exist in the running kernel.   have you
actually tried rebooting into this kernel?
